Something new and exciting for me ...

Hi all

Something new and (to me!) exciting - I have been invited to do a print lecture at a pretty major photographic society next week. I have watched loads of speakers over the years, but this is a first for me. :)

It involves about 90 minutes of talking and, in that time, I will be showing and discussing about 70 prints.

The society's website can be seen at: http://www.sittingbourneps.co.uk/index.php

If you click on programme, that's me under September 24th! :D

Cheers
Mike

You Go Mike!
Is there anyway you can share your lecture with us?
Pictures, a pod cast, etc?
:thumbsup:
Brian

I think everyone will learn from your presentation, Mike.
And public speaking isn't foreign to you and that should be quite a bit shorter than an average sermon, eh? psst...that's a joke

I agree with Brian. Why don't you video the entire talk and edit it down to a 5-minute YouTube bit. Then we can all enjoy it... :D

Seriously, congrats big time. That's a lot of time to fill. :(

If it were me, I'd talk for 1/2 an hour, then have an hour Q&A period...

Thanks guys .. it's appreciated :)

I don't think videoing it is practical in this instance. It's not my own club and I don't have the equipment myself.

However, I have selected the 70 prints and arranged them in their correct sequence to music in a slide show. Anyone who wishes can have a copy of this if you want. PM me if interested. It is mega big though, and needs to be downloaded - 70 pretty high res pictures to music don't come small!

frog .. re sermon length - I was always taught that it was a preacher's job to talk about two things .....

Talk about God

and

Talk about 20 minutes :D

Cheers
Mike

Congratulations Mike! That is very exciting news. I wish I lived closer - I would love to see it. You'll do a fantastic job.

That is exciting Mike. A very big honor to be selected to present. Good luck, I'm confident that you will be a smash hit with your audience.
